But an A9 does not perform like any other A9...
The Max2 uses a RK3288, which I consider very fast. Likewise, the frequency tells very little per se. You need the model.
And, I am pretty sure the RK3288 is an A12/A17, not an A9...
EDIT: confirmed. From Wikipedia:

The Rockchip RK3288 is an ARM architecture System on Chip (SoC) from Rockchip. It is the first SoC, in August 2014, that uses the 32 bit ARM Cortex-A17 processor

The distinction between A9 and A12/A17 is important, because with the latter you get much more power for your battery charge.
EDIT2: we are used to expressions like <<quad core ARM Cortex A9>>, from vendors heavily compromising with information and in this wave of treating customers like dummies, but that expression is not very different from <<a British four-wheel vehicle from 2010>>. Putting in the same basket Mini, Bentley, rebranded Lada, sport, city, van... Brand and model are required.
